Dr. Aaron Montgomery is a chiropractic physician and assistant clinic director at the Health Centers of UWS – Gresham location. After graduating from University of Western States, Dr. Montgomery began his own practice in Gresham. As a former personal training director and exercise science major from Montana State University, he emphasizes functional rehabilitation in his practice. Dr. Montgomery began working at the Health Centers of UWS – Gresham clinic in 2012.

Dr. Montgomery carefully blends the human body’s need for functional strength, endurance, and range of motion with a focused and gentle approach to chiropractic manipulation and soft tissue work.

“From breathing properly and how that impacts your spinal movement to how well your big toe moves and affects every step you take; I like to address the big picture on every visit,” said Dr. Montgomery.

“Chiropractic care is about listening to people, understanding how they move and function as a whole and empowering them to take an active part in their own health and well-being.”.
